Great governemtn teacher. I wasn't really interested in Government and was dreading it. But he is a fun teacher, likes to joke around. You get extra credit on quizzes and tests just by writing the definitions and outline of the chapter. Easy to pass if you do these outlines for each chapter!

His lectures were very chill and funny. But since he rarely actually talked about what we were supposed to be learning off the power points the tests were difficult.

Polite and respectful. There is a lot of homework but it's all easy. The lecture doesn't usually correlate to the course work so it can get a little boring. He can get carried away during lectures. He is somewhat humorous so that helped. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Encourages discussion. Attendance is graded.

Did not learn a lick of what I paid for. You get docked points for not showing up to class, yet all homework is online, and all class he preaches his political and other beliefs. I learned about how annoyed he is with feminism, Christianity, people who rescue dogs, biracial children, adopted kids, psych majors and pretty much nothing else of value.

Professor Young's lectures are informative, interesting, and enjoyable to listen to. He has an extremely laid back personality, while still being passionate about the subject matter. He's also very witty and cracks lots of jokes while lecturing. He's one of the few instructors ever where I found myself slightly disappointed when class was over.

Personally, I really didn't like the way the class went. Attendance is part of the grade & he talks about the most random things all class and barely covers notes unless you ask him to. Thus, attending class is pointless. All of the work is in the online textbook & is really easy. Under no circumstance would I tell my friends to take this class.

I would not recommend him as he likes to talk about things rather than government EVERY class.
